COMMENTS: Wow!
Amazing stuff! A rumour has been circulating that Lou and David joined Mott
at at least one session during the recording of the "All The Young Dudes" album, while they were recording Lou's "Transformer" album. Here is the proof. Bowie sings ALL THE YOUNG DUDES
and Lou sings SWEET JANE. They also participate on most of the other songs,
playing guitar, sax or singing back up vocals. I had a tape of this session
before, and I can't understand why the running order has been changed? The
sound quality is excellent, but a little bit distorted (just as on the original
tape!). The Glasgow show is remastered, and the sound quality is actually
very good! The boring thing is that it isn't complete, and according to
the cover the cuts between the songs comes from the the original tape. That
isn't true! I have the tape and it doesn't feature any other cuts than the
cut between side A and B. I also doubt that ROCK'N'ROLL SUICIDE is from
the Glasgow show? I have never heard of any tape that lasts longer than
SUFFRAGETTE CITY. Even the songs are roughly cut on the CD, not only the
space of time between them! There are two missing songs, and they are LET'S
SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER / THE JEAN GENIE / THE WIDTH OF A CIRCLE should
have come after FIVE YEARS. Anyway, because of the Mott session this is
a great disc.
